A celebratory dance sometimes performed in basketball by players after making a critical shot in the game. The dance is usually done immediately after making a shot that is a tiebreaker near the end of a close game.

The performer would hop from side to side, with his legs in a saddle position, and his arms torqued in a manner as if he was carrying something big below his waist - in this case, his balls. The movement is done to emphasize the look of carrying something big, hence the term "big balls dance."
